Getting fit?

[nigel]

I'm a delivery driver and deliver (what are often) heavy boxes everyday, it's a fairly physical job, but a friend of mine who is keen on fitness has told me that despite my physical job, I'm still not doing enough exercise!!

Well how much is enough for gawds sake!?

, Nigel ... lifting heavy boxes is certainly exercise! Maybe your friend is referring to the amount of time you spend behind the wheel!?

Hi Ian,

Just a tip. Go on any cardiovascular exercises it will make you well toned.

As for me, I do concentrate on bigger muscles like legs, back, shoulder, triceps, biceps. I start with heavy weights for the first set on 15 reps then drop the weight 50% and make 2 sets of 25 reps. It will make your body well toned in matter of 2 weeks. Specially if I go to beach and wants to have a well toned body. They call this dynamic workout. On abs I do 25 reps each abs exercise and I do about 15 different abs exercise and in only 2 weeks I get a well toned tummy plus cardio and I only eat organic foods. I'm 9 stones and 5'6" tall, been wanting to lose at least half a stone for a trimmer body. Not for vanity but for health sake and it makes me feel good too

If I had the time, I would do something like that, but I really only have about 15 minutes. As I said I'm not trying to get big muscles, just stay reasonably toned. I do other exercises too, plenty of walking and playing football with my kids, so I'm quite happy with my fitness for a 40 something yr old

I used to find that being a Tunneler kept me lean and fit, up to 40 odd, and now cycling and hiking around the Phils (and here).

6'1" - 80kgs now.

My boy does mixed martial arts and gym.
Just wish he'd stop practicing on me !

Needless to say...he's a bit bigger now. lol!

I believe so, but I'm not paying for a Business or First Class ticket out of my own pocket

Do any of you start a fitness regime or diet before you go on holiday? If so, what do you do?

Sports keep me and my family fit...we did aikido,swimming,badminton in the philippines,and we continue our training here in the uk plus netball & fitboxing(for our little girl),it help us stay focus and keep us happy and healthy...we dont have special diet we eat,drink what we want what is important is we sweat in a day!!
